Dogbert, Dilbert, Alice, Wally and the Boss sit at a round table. Dogbert says, "In this team-building exercise you will make paper dolls while blindfolded." Dogbert continues, "This may seem absurd. But soon, cognitive dissonance will set in and you'll cry and hug and think you learned something." The members of the group, now blindfolded and working with scissors, begin their work. As he is about to cut his hand with the scissors, Dilbert asks, "Are you sure we'll cry and hug?" Dogbert answers, "Actually, hugging is iffy."

The Boss sits at his desk thinking, "I don't know how to fix any of the problems in this company. Maybe I'll just sit here quietly." The Boss thinks, "No, that wouldn't look managerly . . .

Someone in the water says, "Hey! No splashing!"

The Boss: "Our project is six months behind schedule."
"Meanwhile, our technology has become obsolete and the users' requirements have changed."
"Any suggestions?"
Dilbert: "Let's stubbornly plod along and deliver the useless product that was originally requested."
Wally: "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!"
"We should restart every time something changes. That way we'll never be held accountable for results!"
Alice: "You losers can work it out alone. I heard there's a job opening on project Caribou."
The Boss: "Next on the agenda: our weekly team-building excercise."
